How to Start Marooned
The mission begins right after “Vainglorious Bastards.” Things are tense between Kenway and Vane, and once Vane bolts off, Kenway’s first objective is to locate him.
As Vane heads west, your priority is to move north first. Climb up to the top of the shipwreck so you can synchronize the Viewpoint.
From the shipwreck area, you can also go west along the boat toward the top of the mast. While doing that, look for Secrets—specifically, a Data File.

Find Charles Vane
Start by following the route to the west. You don’t need a perfect turn-by-turn path—just keep progressing generally west until you reach the ruins with the waterfall. When you’re close, the game will mark the location for you as the next Viewpoint on your map, at coordinates 475, 17.
At the ruins, you’ll spot Vane running and climbing the wall. Follow him up and scale to the top of the ruin above the Viewpoint. This is where you’ll locate him—though he won’t stay put and will jump off shortly afterward.
While you’re up there, grab the Keys on top of the southwest building, then synchronize the second Viewpoint. After that, dive down and head north along the water.
As you travel, slide under a tree to continue. Vane is waiting ahead, and he’s not just hiding—he’s found new weapons and starts aiming them at you. To catch him, use bushes and walls as cover to close the distance, then sprint up and cross over the branch where he was perched.
Keep chasing and stay alert for explosives Vane sets down along the path. Eventually, you’ll reach him again as he scrambles to the top of another ruin and continues firing at you.
Once more, lean on bushes and walls for cover to get close. When he notices you, his attack pattern shifts between shooting and throwing explosives.
- Sneak in as close as you can the first time without getting spotted
- When he’s preparing to shoot, be ready to dodge as the shot’s loading meter is nearly full
- After he fires, run immediately
- Don’t linger—he’ll transition to bombs
- Use bushes along the way to recover health
After circling around the back, Vane loses sight of you. Take advantage of the confusion to climb up to the top of the ruin and knock him out.
